Post op and living alone with no outside help, how am I to get these things off my legs for an hour every day, and then put them on again without breaking the 90 degree rule. Can't expect Social Services or the District Nurse to wait arond for an hour to put them on again. I can probably manage thr left oen. but not the one that will have the THR?

So glad I got one, saves me having to beg my wife to help me every morning.
I get mine off with a long handled shoe horn - slip it inside the sock top, and keep pushing it down, bit by bit. Once you have got it over the heel, it's easy.

You can leave them on for up to 3 days so you may be able to get a carer to come in every 3 days?
But before you worry about how you will put them on why dont you check with your consultant first to see if they require you to use them.

Unfortunately, my family are deceased, Daughter in Bath doesn't drive, so no help there, and time demanding job. Friends, mostly in San Francisco, and all tied up with their own issues. Not much in the way of help around here. It's an ever changing population, young professionals, and I couldn't ask them to do something so intimate, it would not be appropriate to the relationships.
I can see that I have a lot of work to do, mostly research, by the look of it.

Sock aid takes some practice.

Even with all your limbs healthy they seem a nightmare to put on and take off.
